     @chjara@akko.wtf basically the core theme is it's a satire of the United States

     @chjara@akko.wtf which is really obvious when you play the games for a little
     
     They make sure to relentlessly mock yanks into the ground with every frame (the radio, the city design, the fake ads in-game, the characters, the dialogue, the violence)
     
     It's really not subtle at all, like the first GTA 6 trailer even featured MAGAts and rednecks

     @chjara@akko.wtf oh yeah and the multiplayer mode is basically terrorism simulator where you can do shit like shoot down some other guy's nuclear submarine from an F-22 while also making meth in a factory and selling crack to minorities
     
     I'm not joking, you can buy fighter jets and submarines and iirc even mess with an aircraft carrier

     @chjara@akko.wtf There's a story and missions and stuff but most people just enjoy it as an open world sandbox.

     @chjara I've watched HoloGTA and… yeah it's pretty much that, being a complete city-criminal in a video game.

     @chjara Completing missions, being wanted, and having sex with women.

     I propose that Grand Theft Auto is yuri. In this essay,
